Low-Tech Grenades A Danger to Helicopters

From: Alan Minyard


And the combat record of the Sunburn is???? The USN has no need nor use for
such a weapon.

And you have no Idea what the USN can or cannot counter.

Of course, the combat record of the Sunburn is non-existent.

And it is also true that I am not privy to any information regarding counters
to the Sunburn (and its latest derivatives), however, it appears to be a weapon
with some non-zero probability of making it past a battle group's point
defenses. The effects of such missile's slipping through those defenses would
be devastating.

That said, it is also an example of a Russian (former Soviet) produced weapon,
beyond the RPG, that negates Clancy's theory on the incompetance of their
engineering and manufacturing technologies.
